Louisa North, BACP

Louisa North draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people feel steadier and more able to cope. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, eating difficulties, parenting concerns and depression. Louisa makes space for honest conversation and calm reflection so people can begin to find clearer ways forward.

Louisa offers a warm, non-judgemental approach. She works to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps people identify what matters and set realistic next steps.

Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Louisa supports people wrestling with loneliness, midlife uncertainty, questions of life purpose and struggles with self-love or mood disorders. She talks through practical coping ideas alongside emotional processing.

With five years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Louisa combines experience with a straightforward style. She helps people break problems into manageable parts and build small, sustainable changes.

Louisa works in English and sees people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Getting started is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire to connect and then arrange sessions that suit individual schedules.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Louisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One familiar approach involves structured conversations to identify patterns that maintain stress and anxiety, then testing new ways of coping in everyday life. This helps with symptoms like persistent worry, social anxiety and mood swings.

Another commonly used method centres on processing difficult feelings such as grief, shame or abandonment by gently exploring memories and beliefs. This can reduce the intensity of painful emotions and make it easier to move forward. Both approaches aim to be practical and are adaptable to different concerns like eating difficulties or parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louisa will discuss options and decide together with the person what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape goals and the pace of sessions to match needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth discussion and non-verbal cues, while phone calls suit quicker check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter updates, journalling between sessions or ongoing support that fits around work and family life. These formats make therapy more accessible across different schedules and locations.
